A human interface and server; a node for information flows. A discoverer, an inventor, a visual artist and a language artist. A man with deep insight and a broad view. Someone who moved straight through time and back again. A 'retroplanner', to use a word he himself coined : someone who keeps his eyes forward but can see how things were 'planned' in retrospect. A warm person and an outstanding teacher... With this book and datadisk, we present Yariv Alter Fin as all of us - his friends, his colleagues and his students -- knew him." -- from the introduction.
